Finally there was a report that exceeded one million km.
I, JE9PEL forward from DESPATCH ground station web,
The reporting source is Polish Ham Group.

FWD from DESPATCH GS:
> DESPATCH has completed the phase 2 where he transmits the poetry
> and is now in the phase 3 as scheduled. Phase 3 is the reception
> of a radio beacon whose period cycle is 5 seconds and duty-ratio
> changes depending on temperature of the spacecraft batteries.
> The transmitter repeats 50 minutes resting and 20 minutes sending,
> in the phase 3 (the same way as in phase 2). The file below lists
> up the time when the transmission restarts.
